Tips For Not-Yet Vegans Ft. Maisy ๐ ๐
Hello Steemians,
Health, happiness and freedom to you all! Today's (two days ago) stream was a fantastic discussion with you all and my amazing niece Maisy! She came back on mostly because she loves talking and because the reality of going vegan has hit home. She had a bunch of questions about how to stay true to her values so we jumped right in!
So there it is, I did my best to share some wisdom with her and with you lot in the chat. First we have to acknowledge that this journey has a lot of challenges, especially for one so young and not in control of her meal planning. It will take a lot of love, support and innerstanding from her parents and grandparents to help her through and remind her of the reasons why she chose this path. This is the most important aspect in my opinion, she needs her family's help and support once I'm gone.
As well as the practical advice we talked about in the stream. I'd suggest watching some documentaries about the health benefits and wider environmental effects of veganism. There's tons to watch for on Youtube and many of the main ones are even on Netflix. Watching them as a family and talking together honestly and openly will really help. If it doesn't sink in for you then at least you might get why she and other vegans feel connected to making the change.
Here's just a few to get started with;
- FOOD Inc.
- Cowspiracy
- Dairy is Scary << Only 5 mins long โค๏ธ
- Top 5 Vegan Films Of 2017 (A few trailers of NEW films to watch!)
- Best Speech You'll Ever Hear

Thank you, my friend, for doing this! I and my whole family are vegans! I love the movie Cowspiracy, but the push for us was the joint work with one Russian athlete, Olympic champion Alexei Voevoda. He is a very experienced vegan and one of the strongest people in the world.
Let her peek inside her soul. On Which side she wants to be on the dark or on the light. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐ค
Thanks for commenting and congratulations to you and the whole family! ๐ค

Vegan food looks frigging awesome! Love it @kenistyles
Thanks for commenting! I agree ๐ค
Hello, @kenistyles! Thank you for sharing your tips to ease the transition into a vegan diet. We agree that the family support is essential, since the change to a vegan diet does not only implies a change in the food that is consumed, but a change in the lifestyle. In our experience, we see that many aspects of the daily routine begin to change: the places that are visited, the products that are bought, new interests, among others. In our case, one of the most influential documentaries in our transition to a vegan diet was Food Inc. and we believe it has also helped our family and friends to understand our lifestyle and reflect on some of their own habits and the impact they have on the environment, health and animals. Motivated by the love we have for animals and their well-being, we recently started our @letsteamup project, with which we intend to give anyone the opportunity to contribute to animal welfare using Steemit. We will be very pleased to know your opinion about our initiative, as we can see you share our love and respect for animals. Thanks for sharing your advice for a vegan transition! We hope we can get more tips in your next posts :)
Yes I agree, it is a whole reality shift and one that is best supported by a loving family. What a great project you are heading, I will gladly take a look and offer my feedback. Thank you for being the love we wish to see in the world.
